SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (CVE-2026-77310)

Summary

SSRF in com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (CVE-2026-77310). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via java.net.InetSocketAddress. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.22.1 or later.

Summary

CVE-2026-54514 (GHSA-hgj6-7826-r7m5) fixed an eager-DNS-resolution / SSRF issue in jackson-databind's deserialization of java.net.InetSocketAddress by switching to InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved(...) (PR #5951, commit 1f5a1037, released in 2.18.8 / 2.21.4 / 3.1.4). That fix did not cover the sibling java.net.InetAddress branch in the very same FromStringDeserializer.Std._deserialize() switch statement, which still calls InetAddress.getByName(value) and therefore performs an eager forward DNS lookup on attacker-controlled input at deserialization time. The fix is incomplete: the same vulnerability class remains reachable through InetAddress.

Details

File: src/main/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/deser/std/FromStringDeserializer.java

Sibling cases in the same switch:

  • Line 357-358 (UNFIXED):
    case STD_INET_ADDRESS:
    return InetAddress.getByName(value); // eager forward DNS lookup
  • Line 359-381 + helper at 494-496 (FIXED by PR #5951):
    protected InetSocketAddress _inetSocketAddress(String host, int port) {
    // 05-May-2026, tatu: [databind#5951] Prevent DNS lookup:
    return InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved(host, port); // no DNS
    }

InetAddress is a registered standard string-like scalar type (FromStringDeserializer.types() line 73; findDeserializer() maps it to STD_INET_ADDRESS at line 119-120). Any value deserialized into an InetAddress-typed target — a plain POJO field, a polymorphic subtype, or a…

🔥 Severity

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 2.22.1.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
